Getting your team comfortable with digital workers
Geary and Kurkal both say that opposition to change is your biggest hurdle when it comes to transitioning your team to be comfortable with digital colleagues. People tend to resist shifts of any kind simply because they don't want to leave their comfort zones. But you have reimagine big-picture goals.
"Once those are determinded," says Geary, "a company should create a road map that defines the type of work humans should do versus their digital counterparts. As companies begin to introduce automation, they can add in the human touch where more empathy is needed."
You also need to address your culture. It's imperative that you embrace the new and get everyone involved, treating automation as a journey rather than a destination.
Your digital colleague might not look human or even like a robot. But it's going to have a seat next to you, and soon. And, as a leader, your ability to stay competitive while also keeping your team happy depends on being able to see new ways of creating, producing and allocating tasks.
The sooner you consider how to transition to digital colleagues, the sooner you'll likely be in a position of respect, stability and significant market share.

Let’s get this show on the road.
Hi, friends. Welcome to Info Cloud. I'm so excited about today's lesson, so let's get this show on the road.
Wow! You look excited. What are we sharing with our students today?
Let's get this show on the road. Well, yeah. What are we talking about? Let's get this show on the road. I want to talk about what it means when someone says: Let's get this show on the road.
Oh, I see. You tricked me. Well, then let's get this show on the road. Tell us what it means.
When someone says: Let's get this show on the road, it just means to begin or start doing something.
For example, maybe you are preparing for a meeting at 10:00, and it's time to begin the meeting, you can say to everyone: Let's get this show on the road.
This expression most likely is used by performers touring different places. We use "on the road" to describe performers traveling to different locations to perform.
"Let's get this show on the road" is a fun and casual way to say you want to officially begin an event or journey.
今天跟大家分享的這句流行的用語是 Let’s get this show on the road. 這句話原本是用來形容某個藝人或是某個節目開始巡迴演出。on the road有旅行的涵義，Let’s get this show on the road. 字面上的意思就是「讓這齣戲開始巡迴演出吧」，用在日常生活中，就可以用來表達讓一件事情正式開始吧。像是如果預定十點鐘開會，大家都到齊了，主席可以說: Let’s get this show on the road. 我們正式開始吧，這是比較輕鬆幽默的方式，來宣布要開始做一件事情。
